Aluminum for car body has broad prospects. The company has obvious first mover advantages and the business expansion of battery construction is smooth. Lightweight as one of the key technologies of automobile energy saving, aluminum alloy is the best solution material for lightweight. Since the layout of the new energy vehicle business in 2013, the company has gained rich technology accumulation and customer resource accumulation in the field of new energy vehicle parts, and achieved certain industry first mover advantages. In 2021, the company successfully became the supplier of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) , Sunwoda Electronic Co.Ltd(300207) , Eve Energy Co.Ltd(300014) , Gotion High-Tech Co.Ltd(002074) and other major battery manufacturers, and won a number of designated battery components such as battery end sectors and battery trays, realizing the full coverage of the business field of “three electricity system” of new energy.

The strategic layout is integrated, and the medium and long-term development strategy is clear. In 2021, the company will make every effort to layout the business related to die casting integration, and will focus on expanding the field of new energy “multi in one” aluminum alloy die castings, battery components and body components. At present, the company’s “multi in one” aluminum alloy die-casting business has started mass production of some products, and the technology and process are gradually maturing. The central feeding and other processes are put into application, and efforts are made to break through the process substitution of battery tray integrated die-casting business, as well as the technical breakthrough and business expansion of body structural parts business. The company expects to complete the installation and commissioning of 7 large die casting machines above 3000t by the end of 2022.

Risk tip: the epidemic has dragged down automobile production, the expansion of customers and categories is less than expected, and the new energy policy has been tightened.

Investment suggestion: lower the profit forecast and maintain the rating. Considering the continuous lack of core in the industry in 2022 and the impact of rising prices of raw materials, we lowered the company’s profit forecast. It is estimated that the company will realize a net profit attributable to the parent company of 166 / 252 / 414 million yuan from 2022 to 2024 (the previous forecast of 254 / 340 million yuan from 2022 to 2023). As a high-quality aluminum die casting enterprise, the company has high-quality new energy customers, early layout and full product expansion. It updates the one-year target stock price of 18.8-22.5 yuan (the previous target price was 38-44 yuan) and maintains the “buy” rating.
